Musings of a wannabe-vet. In case you want to know, Aortic Stenosis and Sub Aortic Stenosis are caused by a a narrowing of the main blood vessel, or the aorta, as it leaves the left side of the heart, in a dog. Because of this, heart must work harder, causing problems as severe as death. It is hard to detect. With more severe versions, exercise must be restricted. AS and SAS are very common heart diseases seen in large breed dogs such as Golden Retrievers, Newfoundlands and Boxers.
That is part of my dog essay, the one that I'm writing for my mom. It's 21 pages long and I'm only on the 4th page of the layout-not even halfway through. But almost.
And about the vet thing- well, ever since Thanksgiving (when I observed my aunt's naughty German Shepherd) I have wanted to be a vet.
How were your Thanksgivings?
